Please stop creating new threads for the same problem. Stay in one thread, that makes it much easier for everyone willing to help. And by the way, this is not a perl error. Perl isn't even reporting it. See find. Alexander -- Today I will gladly share my knowledge and experience, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so". ;-)	[reply]

Do you use a search engine? I do. That's how I find things like find: missing argument to -exec which contains a detailed answer to this question.	[reply]

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/find.1.html is htmlfiles supposed to be a directory, that sure wont work. even if it was `find . -type f -execdir cp '{}' htmlfiles \;` [download] It wont work unless the htmlfiles dir exists already	[reply] [d/l]
